So what could he realistically expect with:
-CM3000
The preamp in the 3000 would be overloaded.

Quote:
-DB8e with one bay pointed at: at the 97~101° direction
-the second bay pointed at: 188° direction
The only way to tell is to try it.

Quote:
-preamp on the DB8e
The preamp would be overloaded by CJOH unless you insert a HLSJ, UVSJ, or a custom Tin Lee bandstop filter for CH 6 before it.

Quote:
Preamp signal of DB8e + CM signal combined and ran into the home to one tv
The same signals from each antenna would interfere with each other at the combiner.

And to clarify the expectation, we are not expecting to pick up EVERY channel like a CATV tower but the feasibility of picking up:
CJOH-TV (6)
to
WWTI-DT (21 (50.1) -10.3 db
Not easily done. Too many signals, in too many directions, on too many TV bands, with too much difference in signal strength.

I suggest starting small with just the most important channels, and build on that. For example, he has 3 CBC:
real channel 11, CKWS
real channel 30, CKWS
real channel 12, CHEX

does he really need all three?
